Hollywood actor Stanley Tucci has been photographed visiting a fruit and veg shop in Cornwall.

The Emmy Award winner is known for films such as The Hunger Games, The Devil Wears Prada and The Lovely Bones.

Richard Dormand, from Richard's Greengrocer & Fishmonger in Fowey, said the actor had been in the port town for the week.

He said Tucci had been in the shop "squeezing my courgettes".

'Big into food'

Mr Dormand told BBC Radio Cornwall: "He's been here for the week, and he came in every day and a member of staff spotted him.

"My son actually, Jack, pointed him out and I wasn’t any the wiser because I wouldn’t recognise him myself, but then obviously once he's pointed out, wow, yeah that’s the main man."

Mr Dormand said Tucci, who has also hosted a culinary travel series, was "big into food" and "full of praise" for his shop.

"He was buying fresh vegetables," he said.

"I know one day Jack went out and Jack was looking because he was squeezing my courgettes."

'Loves his pasties'

Mr Dormand said he spoke to the actor about his visit to the town and learned that he was partial to a Cornish pasty.

"He loves his pasties," he added.

"He came in yesterday morning, which is when I got the photo, and bought two pasties to take away because he was travelling back to London.

"He's just like one of us, there was no airs and graces about him.

"He was just going about his thing like every other person in Fowey."
